Culminamos con esta entrega ''A la busca del tiempo perdido'', en una edición que hace ya ineludible este verdadero reto lector, con la traducción y notas de Mauro ArmiñoÚltima entrega del ciclo narrativo y obra cumbre de la literatura universal, ''A la busca del tiempo perdido'' de Marcel Proust. Desde la infancia del Narrador, desde Combray y cerca de Swann, todo ha cambiado. Es hora de hacer balance. En el claroscuro del París de la Gran Guerra, bajo un cielo de bombardeos, emergen monstruos, figuras irreconocibles del pasado. El Narrador comprende la obra de arte como la única manera de encontrar el Tiempo perdido. Novela totalizadora, síntesis deslumbrante de la teoría de Proust sobre el tiempo y el arte, ''El tiempo recobrado'' es también un notable ensayo sobre la microhistoria de la Primera Guerra Mundial vista desde París. Al hacer un destino del mundo de ayer, Proust da sentido al mundo de mañana. Guiados por la edición de Mauro Armiño, que culmina su trabajo de treinta años sobre este clásico, presentamos esta edición totalmente puesta al día del ciclo A la busca del tiempo perdido, de Marcel Proust, considerado una de las cimas de la literatura universal. Realizada con la coherencia de un solo traductor, y totalmente revisada y actualizada, nuestra versión cuenta con un único y riguroso aparato de notas, imprescindible para una lectura plena de la obra proustiana. También añade resúmenes de cada tomo y diccionarios de personajes y de lugares –incluidos en el primer volumen– para que sirvan de guía de localización y procuren un contacto más inmediato del lector con esta larga y compleja obra. Y, finalmente, ofrece la saga en sus siete tomos y en un formato cómodo y asequible, para hacer ya ineludible este verdadero reto literario.«Allí donde yo buscaba grandes leyes, me llamaban buscador de detalles... Nadie entendió nada.» Así se lamentaba Marcel Proust ante la incomprensión de que fue objeto la que a la postre sería su gran obra y una cumbre de la literatura universal, A la busca del tiempo perdido. Las miles de páginas de sus siete volúmenes ofrecen uno de esos magnos relatos que, desde Homero, se encargan de analizar el comportamiento del «mundo», de los individuos y el conjunto social que conforman. Y ciertamente, esa capacidad de miniaturista de Proust acabó logrando la fijación de un universo que no ha dejado de asombrar a los lectores desde hace más de un siglo. Nos mantiene al mismo tiempo en una novela introspectiva, parcialmente autobiográfica, y en un retablo social inigualable y mordaz de su época, hasta convertir el monumental ciclo narrativo –a decir de Roland Barthes– en una «obra más sociológica de lo que se cree». Si los temas tradicionales de la novela decimonónica persisten en esta colosal obra, la perspectiva desde la que están tratados aquí los renovaron hasta generar un auténtico giro copernicano del género y del arte literario. El ciclo resultó ser una de las culminaciones del apogeo de lo novelesco en los siglos xix y xx, y convirtió a Proust en un clásico indiscutible.

Two exes find themselves stuck at the same house for Christmas in this holiday romance by Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of Iris Kelly Doesn't Date.It's been five years since Charlotte Donovan was ditched at the altar by her ex-fiancée, and she’s doing more than okay. Sure, her single mother never checks in, but she has her strings ensemble, the Rosalind Quartet, and her life in New York is a dream come true. As the holidays draw near, her ensemble mate Sloane persuades Charlotte and the rest of the quartet to spend Christmas with her family in Colorado—it is much cozier and quieter than Manhattan, and it would guarantee more practice time for the quartet’s upcoming tour. But when Charlotte arrives, she discovers that Sloane’s sister Adele also brought a friend home—and that friend is none other than her ex, Brighton. All Brighton Fairbrook wanted was to have the holliest, jolliest Christmas—and try to forget that her band kicked her out. But instead, she’s stuck pretending like she and her ex are strangers—which proves to be difficult when Sloane and Adele’s mom signs them all up for a series of Christmas dating events. Charlotte and Brighton are soon entrenched in horseback riding and cookie decorating, but Charlotte still won’t talk to her. Brighton can hardly blame her after what she did. After a few days, however, things start to slip through. Memories. Music. The way they used to play together—Brighton on guitar, Charlotte on her violin—and it all feels painfully familiar. But it’s all in the past and nothing can melt the ice in their hearts...right?

A piercing story of thwarted love and true friendship from one of our greatest living writersMarianne Clifford, 15, only child of a peppery army colonel and his vain wife, Lal, falls helplessly and absolutely for Simon Hurst, 18, whose cleverness and physical beauty suggest that he will go forward into a successful and monied future, helped on by doting parents. But fate intervenes. Simon's plans are blown off course, and Marianne is forced to bury her dreams of a future together.Narrating her own story, characterising herself as ignorant and unworthy, Marianne's telling use of irony and smart thinking gradually suggest to us that she has underestimated her own worth. We begin to believe that - in the end, supported by her courageous Scottish friend, Petronella - she will find the life she never stops craving. But what we can't envisage is that beneath his blithe exterior, Simon Hurst has been nursing a secret which will alter everything.

En el siglo XIII muchos entendieron que se iniciaba una nueva era para la humanidad: el llamado tiempo de los lirios, un tiempo nuevo, lleno de paz y justicia, con una Iglesia renovada y un mundo organizado en pequeñas comunidades contemplativas. Esa creencia estaba auspiciada por, entre otras cosas, las enseñanzas y el ejemplo de Francisco de Asís, quien, según descubre el autor al llegar a la región italiana de la Umbría, sigue muy ligado a sus paisajes, sus ciudades o su arte. A medida que recorre la comarca ''que destaca por su sobriedad: pueblos medievales, mucha piedra y amplios valles, todo envuelto en un refinado halo místico'', nuestro viajero se entrega a la contemplación de frescos y a desentrañar los misterios del santo de Asís a través de la huella que el fraile y la propia región dejaron en la obra de artistas de todas las épocas, desde los pintores del primer Renacimiento ''en especial el enigmático Giovanni di Pietro, Lo Spagna'' hasta autores como Goethe, Montaigne, lord Byron, Hermann Hesse, Simone Weil, Chesterton, Saramago, Franz Liszt o Pasolini. Emparentado con los cínicos e inspiración para los movimientos utópicos de todo tiempo y lugar, aquel joven e iluminado Francisco despreciaba el dinero y practicaba la pobreza voluntaria y la predicación para advertir a una sociedad y a una Iglesia contaminadas por el afán de riquezas, así como para encontrar el viejo y casi olvidado camino de la sabiduría o de la salvación. Como si hubiera vislumbrado y comprendido el futuro, se opuso con determinación al imparable curso económico y moral de la Historia, de ahí que sea una figura constantemente revisitada. Tirando de diversos hilos, con un estilo ameno y una prosa nítida y elegante, Valero capta el encanto de una región fértil e inquieta, en el plano espiritual y en el artístico, a la que tanto debe la cultura europea.
